More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components (plates, screws, washers) for internal fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities indicative of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an internal fixation system for fractures, osteotomies, malunions, and non-unions of the distal tibia and fibula, which directly treats injuries and medical conditions.

No

Explanation: This device is for internal fixation of fractures, osteotomies, malunions, and non-unions, which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it includes various designs for internal fixation of the distal tibia and fibula, including plates, screws, and washers, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "fractures, osteotomies, malunions and non-unions of the distal tibia and fibula." This describes a surgical implant used to fix bones, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details plates, screws, and washers made of titanium, designed for internal fixation of bones. This aligns with a surgical implant, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the APTUS® Ankle Trauma System 2.8/3.5 is a surgical implant, not an IVD.

EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE

The subject device is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the primary predicate device, the additional predicate devices, and the reference devices listed above. Provided at the end of this summary are tables comparing the Indications for Use Statements (IFUS) and the technological characteristics of the subject device, the primary predicate device, the additional predicate devices, and the reference devices.

The primary predicate device K013248 is in support of substantial equivalence in terms of comparable IFUS, plate designs (including use with locking and non-locking screws), screw designs, and materials. The primary predicate device K013248 also is in support of substantial equivalence in terms of comparison mechanical testing.

The additional predicate devices K092812, K011335, K083213, K000684 are in support of substantial equivalence in terms of comparable plate designs (including use with locking and non-locking screws), and for comparative mechanical testing.

The additional predicate device K091479 is in support of substantial equivalence in terms of comparable plate designs (including use with locking and non-locking screws), compatible screws and screw designs, and identical materials (unalloyed titanium conforming to ASTM F67 and titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136).

The reference device K103332 is in support of substantial equivalence in terms of comparison mechanical testing.

The reference device K192297 is in support of substantial equivalence in terms of identical plate material (ASTM F67), and identical materials for the Class II accessories and instruments.

The reference device K191848 is in support of substantial equivalence in terms of identical plate material (ASTM F136), and for sterilization and shelf life for product provided sterile to the end user.

The subject device, the primary predicate device, the additional predicate devices, and the reference devices have the same intended use for internal fixation of bones including the lower extremity. The IFUS for K013248, K092812, K083213, K000684 include specific language referencing the tibia, fibula, or both.

Differences among the IFUS for the subject device, the primary predicate device, the additional predicate devices, and the reference devices include specific language not in the subject device IFUS referring to internal fixation of bones other than the lower extremity, or the use in osteopenic bone (K013248, K092812, K083213, K000684). The IFUS for the reference devices K103332, K192297, and K191848 include language referring to internal fixation of the upper extremity. These minor differences do not impact substantial equivalence because all IFUS express equivalent intended use for internal fixation of various bones.

The plates from the subject device and the plates cleared in K091479, K103332, K192297, and K191848 have the same technological characteristics, have similar design characteristics, include screw holes to accommodate locking and non-locking screws, and are made of identical materials.

The plates from the subject device, the primary predicate device K013248, and the additional predicate devices K092812, K011335, K083213, and K000684 have similar designs for specific anatomic locations and encompass a similar range of physical dimensions (overall length, and thickness).

6

The plates from the subject device are compatible with subject device screws and with Medartis AG screws cleared in K091479, and also are compatible with Medartis AG K-Wires cleared in K092038.

All of the subject device final finished components are manufactured in the same facilities using identical materials and identical manufacturing processes as used for the Medartis AG devices cleared in K091479. K103332, K192297, and K191848, and, therefore, are substantially equivalent to these devices regarding biocompatibility.

The subject device includes components that are provided non-sterile and components that are provided sterile. The subject device components that are provided non-sterile are packaged using the same materials, and are to be sterilized by the same methods as the Medartis AG devices cleared in K091479. K 103332, and K 192297. The subject device components that are provided sterile to the end user are packaged using the same materials, are to be sterilized by the same method, and have the same sterile barrier shelf life as the Medartis AG devices cleared in K191848.

The differences among the plates from the subject device, the primary predicate device, the additional predicate devices, and the reference devices include variations in the designs of the plates (number of designs, overall dimensions, placement of screw holes), and variations in the sizes of the compatible screws. The plates from the primary predicate device K013248 and from the additional predicate devices K092812, K011335, K083213, and K000684 are made of a different titanium alloy material compared to the subject device. These slight differences among the subject device, the primary predicate, and reference devices do not impact safety or effectiveness.

The subject device screws have similar designs and are made of the identical as the Medartis AG devices cleared in K091479 and K103332.

The subject device washer is made of the identical titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 as the subject device plates and screws and has a design similar to the Medartis AG washers cleared in K112560.

The subject device Class II accessories (trays and device-specific instruments) have similar designs and are made of identical materials as the Medartis AG Class II accessories and instruments previously cleared in K192297.

CONCLUSION

The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the reference device have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and encompass a similar range of physical dimensions appropriate to the anatomy. The subject device and the primary predicate device are made of the identical material. The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the primary predicate device, the additional predicate devices, and the reference devices listed above.
